Dear Fat Bastardo,

Edward Snowden is a great American who deserves full immunity for his patriotic acts. And we’re proud to serve as his legal advisors.

When Snowden blew the whistle on the NSA, he single-handedly
reignited a global debate about government surveillance and our most
fundamental rights as individuals.

And on Monday, a federal judge vindicated Snowden’s actions by
declaring unconstitutional the NSA’s spying program, labeling it
“Orwellian”—adding that James Madison would be “aghast.”

This could be the key tipping point for the American public to
fully realize the service Snowden provided to all of us by exposing the
NSA’s illegal spying program, if we act now and together.

Because the truth is, NONE of the progress in this fight—yesterday’s
court decision, the legislation working through Congress, the
presidential review of the NSA—would have happened if Snowden had kept
silent about the government’s illegal activity.

That’s why today—in the
wake of this groundbreaking court decision—we’re calling on President
Obama to provide full immunity for Snowden, so he can come back home to
the country he loves, free from persecution.

For more than 12 years, the ACLU has been fighting to end government
surveillance that invades the rights and lives of millions of Americans
with virtually no oversight. But when our years-long case against mass
surveillance finally reached the Supreme Court, it was dismissed for
lack of evidence of the secret programs. Snowden provided that evidence, at great personal risk.

Right now, Snowden still lives under threat—exiled in Russia far from
his home and his family, and the victim of ongoing public attacks by
the NSA and its surveillance allies. Just yesterday, former U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said that Snowden “ought to swing from a tall oak tree” for exposing the NSA’s illegal programs.

Despite all this, in a recent CBS News interview, a top NSA official
opened the door to offering Snowden immunity, under certain conditions
(though we firmly believe it should be unconditional).

And this latest court decision gives us the opportunity to fully turn
the tide on public opinion and protect Snowden from further threats of
persecution.
